HEAR my cry,-O | God;
At | te-nd unto-my | prayer.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,
when my heart is o-verwhelmed :
Lead me to the rock-that is | higher—than | I.

For thou hast been a | shel-ter | for me,
And a strong tow-er | from-the enemy.
I will abide in thy tabernacle | fo―r | ever:
I will trust in the | co-vert | of-thy | wings.

For thou, O God, hast | heard-my | vows:
Thou hast given me the heritage of those-
that fear-thy | name.

Thou wilt prolong the | ki-ng's | life:
And his years as ma-ny | ge-ne | rations.

He shall abide before | God-forever:

O prepare mercy and | truth,-which | may— pre serve him.

So will I sing praise unto thy | name—for | ever, That I may daily-per | form-my | vows.

O GOD, thou art my God: early | will-I | seek thee:

My sou-1 thirst-eth | for thee:

My flesh | long-eth | for thee

In a dry and thirsty land, | where—no | wat er is;

To see thy power | and-thy | glory,
So as I have seen-thee | in-the sanctuary.
Because thy lovingkindness is

life,

My | li-ps | sha-ll | praise thee.

better-than |

Thus will I bless thee | while-I | live:
I will lift up my | ha-nds | in-thy | name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with | marrow-
and fatness;

And my mouth shall | praise thee-with joyful | lips:

When I remember thee up | on-my | bed, And meditate | on-thee | in the night | watches.

Because thou hast | been-my | help,

Therefore in the shadow of thy | wings-will | I―re | joice.

My soul followeth hard | af-ter | thee:
Thy | right | hand-up | holdeth me.

But those that seek my soul,-to de | stroy it,
Shall go into the | low-er | parts of the | earth.

They shall fall-by the | sword:

They shall be-a | portion-for | foxes.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him-shall | glory :

But the mouth of them that

Blessed is the man | whom-thou choosest, And causest to approach unto thee, that | hemay dwell in-thy courts:

GOD be merciful unto us,-and | bless us ; And cause his | face-to | shine-up | on us. That thy way may be | known up-on | earth, Thy saving health-a | mong-all | nations.

Let all the peo-ple | praise thee.

Then shall the earth | yield-her | increase;
And God, even our-own | God,-shall |

God-shall | bless-us;

And all the

GOD is our refuge-and | strength,
A very pre-sent | help-in | trouble.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earthbe removed,

And though the mountains be carried | intothe midst of the | sea ;
